Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Has Amazon’s online retail segment ever made a profit? Will it ever given its never-stopping investment into the future? If no prospect of profit, what’s the point of keeping on investing into the segment? Do you like its retail model - owning and selling goods? Isn’t Alibaba’s model better by only providing online retail space? Thanks. Liping

Q: I’ve read the previous questions about AAPL’s movement into the payments space and their direct challenge to SQ. I have LSPD, NVEI and GSY in the financial space. Given the potential reach of ApplePay and the evolution of Buy Now Pay Later (along with other innovations I may not even be aware of), could you please discuss potential future challenges that may negatively impact the 3 companies I hold. Thanks!

Q: In response to previous questions on your site, you've discouraged owning stocks such as Annaly and AGNC Inv. Corp.

Does this view change-- for better or worse -- now that interest rates are likely to rise and the Fed stimulus is reduced? Why?

Q: I own both BMY and GILD, both of which have not done much the past few years except provide a stable dividend. I have enough health and death care ( - PLC:) ) stocks currently and would be OK to sell or raise some cash.
Do you think one or both of these have an upgraded outlook and are worth holding for the next year or two?
Thank you for the great service.

Q: Hi,
Given the recent great earnings report from Alphabet and their announcement of a 20:1 stock split, do you think it is a good time to start a position in GOOG? Or would you wait it out for a while, as there is likely more downside for growth stocks? Fundamentally it would seem to be an easy choice for a buy and hold long term, but from a more technical perspective, I am wondering if this is a buying opportunity, or more of a wait and see?
Thanks for all your valuable insight!

Q: I am contributing to my RRSP. I have a maxed out TFSA and also have a non-registered account. I am trying to stay fairly diversified in terms of sector. (and am happy with that mix currently). What I would like to do, is focus on the US in my RRSP for tax considerations. My US exposure is currently low.
Questions: Can you suggest some ETFS or Index Funds that take advantage of the tax situation and are favourably priced right now? Should I contribute to the RRSP in $Can or $US? Is there an advantage to either? 5-10 year time frame.

Thank you for your great service!

Q: On February 1 2022, ET:us was added to RBC-Capital’s “ Global Energy Best Ideas”. ALA:ca is also on that list (ENB:us is not). Do you agree with this call or are you lukewarm and colder? Ratios: I am getting widely different numbers on FORWARD P/E , PEG, ROE, ROCI. Although I am referring to premium sites, the data is widely divergent. What do you have for each of the above ratios please?
